Supporting the Ethereum Foundation with Para Wallet Infrastructure: Devconnect 2025
Ethereum Foundation Devconnect selects Para to power wallets for 15,000+ Devconnect attendees ✴️
This year, as Devconnect heads to Buenos Aires, the Ethereum Foundation turned to Para to power the official Devconnect app, bringing seamless, self-custodial onboarding to thousands of attendees.
From powering wallets and onboarding for ENS, MetaMask, Juicebox, JokeRace, and more Para has become the embedded wallet SDK trusted by teams building at global scale.
For the Ethereum Foundation, the challenge was clear: onboard thousands of newcomers and seasoned developers without sacrificing usability, composability, or security. Para was chosen as the wallet partner to meet that bar.
Why the EF Devconnect Team Chose Para
In the official Devconnect application, each participant receives a wallet automatically from their email login. Behind the scenes, Para’s Distributed MPC ensures keys remain fully non-custodial and user-owned, while supporting high-volume throughput for customers. Para delivers:
Excited that this year's wallet integration for the Devconnect App is @get_para.

Each participant will have a non-custodial embedded wallet generated from their email in-app. We wanted onboarding that felt invisible and secure, and Para delivered.

- Non-custodial MPC by design. Para's MPC keeps key shares separated and never reconstructs them, enabling email or social based onboarding without compromising user control. Users can always use their wallet elsewhere or export their private keys.
- Composability across apps and chains. A single wallet works across Devconnect apps, quests, and onchain experiences. Users transact seamlessly to continue participating in the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
- Production-proven scale, powering millions of existing users. The EF was able to integrate with a single SDK and customize the UI to match their experience.
The Devconnect app is designed to make participation intuitive for every attendee, from first-time users to advanced developers in the Ethereum ecosystem. Para provides the infrastructure that makes that possible, enabling a frictionless onchain experience at scale.
